80’s are back

This week is Drug-Free week at the schools around here- and a lot of other places from what I understand.

This week my daughter gets to dress up in fun themes- and today they are flashing back to the 80’s -which I was told by my 6 year old, is the “old days.” Wow–how fast one ages, after having a child in school! As a child of the 80’s I feel like they weren’t THAT long ago–but, for her being born in 2005–the 80’s doesn’t even seem imaginable!

I helped her pick out an outfit for today’s theme- a bright band tshirt, even if it was Hannah Montana–I would have LOVED to get my hands on a New Kids on the Block tshirt in her size…and mine for that matter 😉

I cut a few slits in it, and paired it with a tank top – and then she wore leggings and a neon colored tutu type skirt that I made last night. I also put rollers in her hair last night, so we could tease her hair a bit this morning and put it in a side-ponytail. Luckily she had some hi-tops that I picked up at Tuesday Morning a few weeks ago for $2 and she has leg warmers because I just can’t stop buying them!

The only thing I wish we had for today, is a hair crimper—remember those?! That would have been so fun, and such a great lesson to her on how the “old people” from the “old days” used to do their hair 🙂

To take this day even further- I decided to make an 80’s style card for her to give her teacher–because I am sure my daughter won’t even know what the image is on this card!

I made this card with the Cricut Indie Art cartridge, DCWV All abut Girls solid paper mat stack, My Mind’s Eye Lime Twist Let’s Fly a Kite for all of the patterned paper–and that cute little cassette tape is on an Action Wobble!! Also…. the stamps are a SNEAK PEEK for the next Pink by Design Release.

The release is scheduled for November 4th, at 8:30 CST –maybe we should make it an 80’s theme Ustream?! What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Oooh, if you’re releasing an 80s stamp set I am SO in! I love your comment about NKOTB – my sister and I were going through old boxes at my mom’s place last summer and we found an entire box FULL of NKOTB stuff – T-shirts included. I even wore mine around for awhile to bug my husband. HA! 🙂 Love that card – my kids have no idea what a cassette is either. Too funny. 🙂

Absolutely an 80’S theme ustream/release party!! I’m going to go look for my leggins and my big alligator clip thing for my hair right now! Are there 80 stamps total – if you add all of the sets together ( you know count the images or sentiments individually ) then you could release 80 images/stamps in an 80’s party!??
No matter the theme or not – can’t wait for the release!herzifam@yahoo.com

Love love love the 80’s! I was not old enough to really appreciate them, so I carried the trend right through to the early 90’s! Your daughter looks, like totally rad! I think DS would look at a cassette tape & scratch his head in confusion. Not gonna lie, I didn’t give up my NKOTB t-shirt or my crimping iron until well into the 90’s 😉 Great post!
80’s stamps are a cool idea…..now I need to find some neon ink =)
